A.P.P. - Assessment/Progression Project
The project aims to explore from a theoretical perspective assessment methodologies and progression routes to support
learners who are long term unemployed and/or disadvantaged. The application of theories selected by partners together
will promote transnational learning and good practice among partner organisations as well as a number of experimental
projects. The idea of this project emanated from learning that emerged from work undertaken between ROC Rijnlssel
College, Tallaght. Partnership who co-operated in the Grundtvig 1 Flex All project. The partners involved will; share
academic knowledge and facilitate agreement on theories regarding assessment/progression to be explored; exchange
information regarding one another’s work in the area of assessment/progression routes for vulnerable learners; design,
test and evaluate experimental pilot projects regarding assessment and progression routes will adult learners;
disseminate learning from partnership work undertaken together at local, regional, national and transnational levels. The
partners in this project represent a variety of institutions with very different yet inter-related experience in this field.
